I have amped my workout to 5 times a week, adding the Krav Maga instruction as well as changing out my old medicine ball routine with a cardio day. I am lucky that since I am making this transition during the holidays, I have been able to take some time off to let my body bounce back. I am now up to 10 consecutive minutes on the treadmill at a time. I first begin with 4.2 mph and then finish with 10 additional minutes at 4.5 mph. My endurance has really increased greatly and I am grateful for that.
I have also consistently kept the Assisted Pull-Up Machine. I can do 2 sets of 15 reps of each of the hand-grips at 90 lbs. assist. I can probably go to 80 with lots of resting in between, but I may try it next week. I was happy to find one of the gyms here in Manhattan have the machine so I no longer have to trek to Long Island to use it. However, I am a bit disappointed I no longer have access to a punching bag. I do feel that in time, I can always practice with the bag at the Krav school and that should be fine.
I am trying to keep an eye on my diet during the holidays and not go overboard, but it's hard since we do have the Swiss Colony's Petit Fors in the house. I am only human...how can I resist them? I have mastered somewhat the whole moderation thing, but I am not going to obsess over weight right now. There is always time for that later!
So, I am holding steady at 169.6 for now. I will also sign up for a yearly block of Krav classes somewhat soon, but since the school raised its prices somewhat, it threw me off entirely. I did however, manage to purchase some new wrestling shoes for class. But for now, I simply will keep going and paying for individual sessions until my financial situation is a bit more defined....so, that's it for now. I feel I am in a good place both physically and mentally.
